LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nor. 9 9. BACON V. CLARK. This was an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor. The bill was filed by the plaintiff against the executors of the late Mr. Fairlie, a merchant, of Calcutta, to compel them to re pay a sum of ten thousand pounds received by him as a trustee. The sum in question had been remitted to Eng land in bills drawn by the house of Ferguson and Co., on that of Fairlie, Buchanan, and Co., of London. Unfortu nately, the former house was declared bankrupt before the bills arrived in this country, and, still more unfortunately, the house of Ferguson and Co. failed before the bills, which were immediately sent back, could reach India. Under these circumstances, it was endeavoured to fix the private estates of Fairlie with the liability to make. good the trust money. Mr. TeEsLovE was heard for the plaintiff ; and the So- LiCITOR-GENERAL was for the executors, but the argu ments were not concluded at the rising of the Court. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 29. RICHARD MATTHENVb V. SCOTT. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when w e went to press, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Dal:loges, 2001. DRUCE V. CATHERINE FITZGERALD. Mr. rrIiESSIGER stated that this was an action to reco ver a sum of 08/. for goods sold and delivered. The de fendant was a la3y who had resided in London, and the plaintiff carried on b,:siness as a butcher, and had supplied her w itb meat. This actiOn was to recover the price of the meat thus supplied, and the tis!endant had pleaded that at the time of the making of the promises in the declaration, that she was the wife of one John Jacobs. The plaintiff bad replied that the John Jacobs mentioned in Cll6 ;lea, had been tried, convicted, and transported. The de fendant had rejoined that John Jacobs in the plea and re plication mentioned was not transported. The only issue, therefore, which the jury had to decide, was whether the man John Jacobs had been tried, convicted, and transpor ted, as alleged by the plaintiff. John Jacobs was tried at the Surrey Winter Assizes, in 1825, for bigamy, he hav ing intermarried with the very defendant, Catherine Fitz gerald, his first wife being alive. A point of law had been reserved by the Learned Judge, and was laid before the twelve Judges, who decided against the prisoner, and in the Summer Assizes of 1826, he received sentence of transpor tation. The delivery of the goods, and an admission of the de fendant as to the amount, were proved, the admission being in answer to an application by the plaintiff's attorney that the defendant was not able to pay all, but that she would pay 101. in January, and the rest by instalments of 51. each, till the whole 381. was paid. The copy of the conviction of John Jacobs was then put in and rend. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, 381. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 29. LIVINGSTON V. WELSTED. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who had for merly been a considerable manufacturer in Scotland, and had since been an artist, and who was engaged also in sel ling certain periodical publications, to recover from the de fendant compensation for trespass and false imprisonment. The Jury, after hearing evidence, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 501. ; and that the sum of 1/. for the trespass was sufficient. EXCHEQUER COURT, Nor. 29. CARRINGTON V. KENDRICK. In this case, which was not finished yesterday when our Reporter quitted the Court, and which was an action of trespass, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 101. damages. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 29. The bankrupts in this case were bankers in Luton, Bed fordshire, against whom a commission was issued in 1824, then carrying on business under the firm of Hampson, Austin, and Co. A considerable period has elapsed since the last meeting of the creditors took place, and to-day was fixed for the further proof of debts and the declaration of a dividend. The debts and liabilities of the firm are about .53,000/., and the assets about 41,6001., there being doubtful debts on the proceedings to the amount of 14,400/. The dividend already declared amounts to 10s. in the pound in proofs which have been entered on the proceedings of 49,0001. To-day a number of additional proofs were ten dered for notes issued by the blink, and in circulation at the period when the firm suspended payments. Another divi dend was also declared, but the amount, owing to the extent of the total proofs against the estate, was not calculated with accuracy. Its amount will be stated to-morrow. GARCIA'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt in this case was committed under an order of the Subdivision Court for not having given satisfactory answers relative to the disposal of a considerable sum of money which was traced into his possession shortly before the fiat was issued against him. The bankrupt pleaded that he went to sleep in an omnibus while proceeding to the city to pay his creditors, and was there robbed of his money. The bankrupt has been in confinement for some time. An application was made to-day to the Court to allow the bank rupt to appear again before it. The COMMISSIONER said, unless some more satisfactory statement was made on affidavit than that pressed upon him, by the applicant, he could not grant the request. SHERIFFS COURT, RED Lrox-sQuenE, Nov. 29. STORE AND OTHERS V. LORD ALVANLEY. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in an action brought by the plaintiffs, eminent silversmiths, to re cover from the noble defendant the sum of 25/. for the use of certain silver articles furnished to his order. It appeared that the Noble Lord, wishing to present some testimonial of his regard to Mr. Warrender on his marriage, ordered certain candelabras and other plate, which were manufac tured, and on them were engraved the arms of Mr. War render. The plate in question was delivered more than two years since. Frequent applications were made to the Noble Lord for payment of the amount of the bill, namely, 1561. Bs. Gd. However, the parties applying on behalf of the plaintiffs could not obtain an interview. This coming to the ears of Mr. Warrender, he sent it back to the plaintiffs, who immediately gave the Noble Lord credit for its value, 131/. Bs. Gd., and now sought to recover the sum of 25/. for the use of the same. The Noble Lord had suffered judgment to go by default, and the jury accordingly found a verdict for the plaintiffs. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 29. Henry Simpson, an elderly man, of respectable appear ance, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on the part of Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, the jewellers, and also fur Messrs, Spick and Son, silversmiths, Gradechurch-street. Several creditors appeared in person. He was supported by Mr, Woodroffe. The insolvent had fifty-four creditors, consisting of jewel lers, tailors, and tradesmen of every description, whose debts amounted to .5281., of which sum lie had contracted about 4001. in the present year. He had been a commis sion and general agent, and had lately resided at No. 14, Earl-street, Finsbury, where he lodged with a widow lady named Lloyd. He owed Rundell and Bridge 461. for a tea service obtained fer his daughter, a married woman at New South Wales. He had also had a diamond ring in memory of his wife. The plat e was mar k e d w i t h t h e i n i t i a l s o f hi s daughter's. name, Simtnonds ; and when the articles were delivered he gave them to her husband, who was in Lon don. Shortly afterwards be s a il e d to, Sydney, at which place. he was a respectable merc h ant. He could not tell exactly where he lived when in London. He positively asserted that he had not pledged the plate. It was all sent to New South Wales.—(One of the silver spoons, which had been pledged, was produced ; the insolvent then varied his tale.) He had made Mrs. Lloyd, hii; frie n d, a pre sent of six of the tea-spoons , and sne might have pawned them. He had also given her the diamond ring. He ad mitted, on being pressed, that he had given h er t h e sugar tongs. In September lie obtained goods from Messrs. Spinks, to whom he h a d paid money in the first instance. He subsequently, however, managed to get himself into their books. Mr. Craske, of the firm of Craske and Batten, paper bangers, Cheapside, opposed in person. rI he insolvent called on him, dressed in a stylish manlier, stating that lus house in Earl-street required " doing up," and reprented himself as an independent man. Work was done on the premises, and of course no money obtained. Mr. Cape, tailor, Panton-street, also opposed. Mr. Commissioner LAW sentenced the insolvent to an imprisonment of fourteen calendar months. CHELSEA PETTY SESSIONS.—TURSDA Y. Yesterday morning the adjourned Sessions commenced before GEORGE BAYNE, Esq., and J. CAGELL, Esq., county Magistrates, at the Board-room of the Workhouse of St. Luke, Chelsea. At the last sitting of the Bench a young female, of about eighteen years of age, posses:ing great personal attractions, with an infant in her arms, was led into Court by the officer in attendance, and introduced to the notice of the Justice. The applicant, who was most miserably attired, seemed to be labouring under severe in disposition, and from her apparently debilitated state was accommodated by order of the Bench with a chair. On being seated she immediately burst into tears, and continued weeping for some time. After she had somewhat composed herself she stated to the Bench that her name is Ann Eve rall, and that she resided at No. 12, Charlotte-street, New road, Chelsea. She had for three years and ten months lived in the service of a Captain Johnson, by whose son, 'iad had two chit was born during 'vice. The infant Irch-yard. During [th young Johnson she never received a shillinq- from him towards the main tenance of his children. The child in her arms was four months old, but had no name, as her distress had prevented her from having it christened. Her poverty bad been such that at times she had been compelled to pawn her child's and her own wearing apparel to purchase a little food. All her things were in pledge, and the very clothes she then had on a benevolent lady living in Sloane-street had presented her with 7s. to redeem from the hands of the pawnbroker. During her servitude she bad never been paid regularly. She had received sometimes a shilling, half-a-crown, or a sovereign at a time. Mr. BAYNE here directed the applicant to wait on his solicitor, Mr. 'Willis, of 158, Sloane-street, and request that gentleman to sue Captain .Tohnson for the full amount of her wages. He (the worthy Magistrate) would dis charge the costs of the proceedings. The overseers having relieved the applicant pro f» me, Mr. BAYNE addressed himself to the parochial authori ties. The unfortunate creature at the bar: having been re lieved by the overseers, she had now become, pursuant to the provisions of the statute, chargeable to the parish, and he trusted that the gentlemen in whom was vested the management of its affairs would take the case before the Bench of Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions of the Peace Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell. A more infamous one he, in his Magesterial capacity, had never heard of ; and, in his opinion, if they suffered the younger Johnson to escape with impunity they would not only be doing injustice to the mi serable and wretched applicant, but b encouraging every species of vice and depravity in Chelsea. The costs of the application to the Sessions would fall on the putative fa ther. The other sitting Magistrates expressed similar opinions. Yesterday, shortly after the above-mentioned Magistrates had taken their seats on the bench, the parish officers of St, Luke came before them, and said that since the last examination of the applicant she had-waited on the over seers, and told those gentlemen that the wages due to her from Captain Johnson amounted to 12/., and if the Cap tain would discharge the demand she would take her child into the country and live with her parents. Mr. BAYNE thought that would be her best course. The parochial authorities said that if the wages of the applicant were paid by the Captain, and she adopted the course she had named, they would abandon the prosecu tion of young Johnson. IThe Bench expressed their approval of such a plan. COURT Off' REQUESTS, KIN" SG 417'E srnwEr, - 41:100M V. BARKER. Mr. Barker, a highly-Pectable medical practitioner, was summoned by George ar69rn, for the amount of one month's wages, he having been discharged at a minute's no tice, and without the customary mourning. Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—What had you done to cause this sudden discharge ? Plaintiff —Nothing, Sir ; I only " stuck up for my rights," and Ilvarn't a goin to be disposed (imposed) upon.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—WeII, Sir, how did they try to " dis pose" of you, as you term it ? Plaintiff—Why, Sir, I'm a groom, and sometimes coachman, and they wanted me to go and " fetch" a errend, and I woudn't ; and so master he discharges me instanter directly. Of course I warn't a goin to do what I did'nt engage for ; why our club 'ud scratch me off the hooks.—(Laughter.) C O MMISSIONER — And pray what club may that be ? Plaintiff—Why, Sir, " The United Livery Servant's Club." • COMMISSIONER —Oblige me with an outline of the ob jects of the society. Plaintiff—ln course. We perwides a suit of clothes for them as sticks up for their rights, and then gets turned out of service, and we contrives to do a somethin for them when they can't help themselves. We sticks by one another, Sir. CommlssloNEß—Very pretty, truly. Mr. Barker will probably be good enough to explain why you quitted his service so suddenly? Mr. Barker hnre stated that the complainant had been in his service a period of eight months, and upon the night of his leaving him, he had merely requested him to be ready with his carriage at the hour of eleven at night, at a certain place in town, and certainly within two miles of his residence. This he refused to do, as not being part of his business ; and he therefore ordered him to quit the house immediately. Mr. Dußots—And you were perfectly right in so do ing. lam sorry you have been troubled to attend here. The case is dismissed. The liverymen looked daggers at the Commissioner and the jury as he quitted the office. HOW TO BREAK IN A CAT.—A Mrs. Vaughton ;vas summoned by a vixen-visaged girl, named Susan Jones, for the amount of one month's wages, she, the said Susan Jones, having been suddenly discharged without having done any thing wrong beside beating the cat.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—Pray what induced you to ill-treat the cat? Plaintiff—Oh, Sir, she was such a dirty cat! But I never ill-used her any more than just giving her two or three knocks on the head with a rolling-pin, and just knocking her nose on the floor—(Laughter)—Missis says I chucked her cat into the water-butt, but she can't prove it. COMMISSIONER—WeII, Mr. Vaughton, what do you say to this ? Defendant—Sir, the poor cat suffered a com plete martyrdom, and although it was a pet animal of Mrs. Vaughton's, she actually caught Susan one day in the very act of grinding its nose against the stones in the back kit chen. She had the impudence to say that she was only breaking it in ; but the fact is she wanted to break its heart.—( Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—AII this, even if she bad succeeded in breaking the cat's heart, would not affect her right to a month's wages. The shortest way is to pay and get rid of such folks. Susan Jones triumphed. BEAUTY AND TUX BEAST.—A very elegantly dressed and remarkably handsome middle-aged lady appeared to answer the complaint of a carpenter and undertaker, who had summoned her for eighteen shillings, the price of a coffin with trimmings. The undertaker stated that he was desired to make a good coffin, suitable for the interment of a favourite deceased dog, belonging to the defendant, whose singular attachment to the canine race had induced her to indulge in similar expenses on previous occasions. COMMISSIONER (with astonishment) —Do you mean to say, Sir, that you made a box resembling a coffin, for the mere purpose of placing a dead dog in it? Plaintiff— Yes, Sir, the lady's; servant told me it was for that purpose. COMMISSIONER—Then, Sir, I must tell you that such conduct evinces a vast want of propriety and common de cency. It is highly disgraceful, Sir. Now, Madam (turn ing to the defendant), perhaps you will be good enough to explain this ? Defendant (with emotion)—Sir, this poor thing was a great favourite of mine, and I was resolved that it should be buried with proper decency. It died under my hands, and I wished to show it a proper respect.—(Laughter.) Besides, Sir, the coffin he made was so frightfully incon venient, the poor dog could not " lay" in it.—(Considera ble laughter.) COMMISSIONER (laughingly)—Surely, Madam, he did not complain, did he ? Defendant—No, Sir, but I did ; the poor dog was quite cramp'd.—( Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—I dare say he was, Madam ; but let us come to the point. Now, was this a packing-case, a deal box, or a coffin ? Defendant—Sir, it was neither, it was merely a comfortable " last retreat" for poor Carlo. — (Laughter.) Well, Sir, I paid this man 15s. for his trou ble, and he now charges naeSs. more. COMMISSIONER—ILIVD you his receipt ? Defendant— Yes, Sir. Here the receipt was handed to the Commissioner, and it appearing to be decisive, and not conditional, the plain tiff was nonsuited ; and the lady, after complimenting the jury on the justness of their decision, sailed majestically out of Court. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. In the course of the morning some witnesses applied to the RECORDER to be allowed their expenses in a case in which the Grand Jury had ignored the bill. Th e RECORDER expressed some surprise at the Grand Jury ignoring the bill, as the evidence from the depositions appeared conclusive. Subsequently Mr. PHILLIPS applied to the Court to permit the witnesses to go again before the Grand Jury, to prefer a fresh bill, as they had obtained the evidence ofan individual whi c h left no doubt of the gu i lt o f t h e accuse d . person against whom the application was made by Mr Phillips, i s J ames Robinson, charged with stealing a purse containing seven sovereigns, on Lord Mayor's day, from a gentleman of the name of Smith, a straw-plait dealer, residing at Dunstable. The RECORDER, after having given his decision, ex pressed a wish to see Mr. Gresham, Mr. Smith's attorney, on the subject. Just before the rising of the Court, Mr. GRESHAM at tended, ilccom panied by an elderly man, of respe c t a ble ap pearance ; when Mr. GRESHAM informed the Recorder that he felt it his duty to bring the individual into Court for having offered 401. to the prosecut or i f he would decline giving evidence ag ainst Robinson, but which h e (M r . Gresham) prevented being from )ingc:i carried _ hisnto effect. Having just seen the person, he considered it i to . beduty to bring the case at once before the Court. The RECORDER should decline giving an opinion, as the transaction had taken place out of the jurisdicti on of the Court. Had it occurred within the walls of the Court, he should know how to act. Sir P. LAURIE—I am sorry to say that these corrupt scenes are daily witnessed, and take place hourly, in Courts of law. At five o'clock the Grand Jury came into Court, and in formed the Recorder that they had, in compliance with his I.nr: iship's wish, examined all the xvitnesses against Matil►li 2;lary Hams, %vho was ehargod with arson, and being satis fied there was no case against her, had ignored the bill.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET Three journeymen cabinet-makers, named Cook, Grant, and Glover, were yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT and Mr. CHAMiIERS, charged with having committed as saults on Mr. Evans, cabinet-maker, Wardour-street, and his wife. A fine of 41. each was inflicted on Cook and Grant, and 2/. on Glover. HA TTON-GARDEN. Yesterday John Wishart, a ferocious-looking fellow, was brought before Messrs. BENNETT and ROGERS, charged by Jane Abbott, otherwise Jane Wishart, with having violently assaulted her. The complainant, a respectable-looking young woman, whose face was covered with bruises, was the daughter of Mr. Abbott, watchmaker, of No. 21, John street, Clerkenwell. About three months ago she became acquainted with the prisoner, who is a bookbinder, in the employ of Messrs. Remnant and Edwards, of Paternoster row, and he paid his addresses to her and proposed matri mony; and they were ultimately married at Islington church, on the 3d of September, when they entered lodgings at No, 3. Woodbridge -street, Bagnigge %Vells-road. She had not been long with the prisoner when he commenced the most brutal treatment towards her for not bringing him borne more money, and on Saturday night last, on his re turn home, be commenced an attack upon her in conse quence of not having his supper ready, and beat her in a dreadful manner, which caused the marks of violence now to be seen on her countenance. She complained to her friends, and by their advice she took a warrant out against him. The Clerk here stated that he understood the prisoner had married four or five women, his first wife being still alive. Mr. BE NNETT inquired of the complainant whether that was the fact? Complainant (shedding tears)—lt is, your worship. He informed me that he was a single man, but she had that day seen his first wife, who was then some where in the neighbourhood of the office, and he had three or four wives then living. Mr. 13cNNuTT—Is it your desire to charge him with bigamy ? Complainant (hesitatingly)—The first wife is willing to come forward. Mr. BENNETT—You are the party injured ; and if you wish to prosecute him for bigamy, you can lay aside the charge of assault, and I will remand him on the charge of bigamy. A Mr. Dean here stated that be was a friend of the complainant, and he knew that the prisoner had married several women, and that his first wife was living. Mr. BENNETT did not wish to urge her to prosecute for bigamy, but he would now give the complainant her choice. Complainant (crying and exceedingly affected)—He has destroyed my happiness for ever ; I do not know how to proceed. Mr. BENNETT—He has not destroyed your happiness alone, but that of others. If you prosecute for the as sault I will hold him to bail ; but you can turn it over in your mind, and I am ready to entertain your charge of bigamy if you arc disposed to proceed against him on that charge. Air. ROGERS concurred that that course ought to be adopted. Mr. BENNETT asked the prisoner what he had to say for his unmanly conduct ? Prisoner (coolly, in a Scotch accent)--I had been taking a little drop, and I own I struck her. Mr. BENNETT—More shame for you, and I shall order you to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions. She then quitted the office with her friends in great af fliction, whilst the prisoner listened to the proceedings with the most heartless indifference. It was stated that about five years ago the prisoner was living with his first wife in the neighbourhoodof Saffron-bill, when he precipitated her from a first-floor window, b y which both her legs were broken, and she remained in St. Bartholomew's Hospital for a considerable time in a dangerous state. She ulti mately recovered, and proceeded against him at this office for a separate maintenance, and they were passed to Scot land, when lie deserted her, and since that period he had married four other women, whose names were mentioned, and who were ready to appear against him. Prior to leaving the office, the complainant, by the advice of her friends, expressed her determination to prosecute him for bigamy ; and Bayliss, the officer, was directed to get up the evidence. UNION-HALL. O n Monday:night an extensive seizure was made by the Exc lie of two illicit stills, which were discovered in a house occupied by a man named Driscoll, in Batcom t, Bermondsey. Ths officers, who appear to be aware of per sons who work at distillation of spirits by a peculiar scent which their clothes attract, had no doubt the defendant was engaged in the business, and as he was discovered on the premises under the circumstances above-mentioned, on being taken before the magistrates, he was sentenced to pay thirty pounds, and in default of payment, was com mitted far three months. THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday a huge fellow, named John Williams, upwards of 6 feet in height, an excavator, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. CLARKSON, charged by the land lord of the White-Hart public-house, in High-street, Shad well, with committing a most ruffianly assault upon him and on William Thorn, a youth in his employ, Mr. BALLANTLNE should order him to pay a fine of 5/. to the King, which be knew lie could not pay, and lie therefore sentenced him to two months' imprisonment.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE. — At the Mop or Statute Fair, held at Gloucester, at Michaelmas lust, a person named Henry Sintrt, who keeps a beer shop, and also boats on the Severn, hired a servant boy, appa rently about 14 years of age, to assist him in his business ; he gave his name John Ridler, and Jack, for so he was called, has continued to perform his work so as to give his master satisfaction. Within the last few days, however, he has complained of being unwell, and was obliged to keep his bed ; the master, feeling some suspicion as to the cause of his illness, on Wednesday sent for a police officer who was present and assisted in hiring the boy, and requested him to go, and, if possible, ascertain what was the matter with him. On proceeding to the bedroom, and after put ting a few questions to the boy, all of which were an swered unsatisfactorily, the officer turned down the bed clothes, and to his astonishment discovered that the pre tended boy was a female. The account she gave of her self is, that she is an illegitimate child, and was born at Newent, in this county, and is now between 16 and 17 years of age ; when she was about ten years of age her mother deserted her, leaving her possessed of 7s. to begin the world with, and it was at that time she took the ro mantic idea into her head of personating a boy, She im mediately went to a clothes-shop, and with the 75., and what was allowed for her female attire, she purchased a suit of boy's clothes, and soon after got hired as carter boy to a farmer near Bromyard, in whose service she remained a considerable time, sleeping with the carter ; but her sex was never discovered. She has continued to live in the service of different farmers until she was hired by her pre sent master ; and had she .not have taken the violent cold which is the cause of the illness she is now suffering under, it is a question but her sex may have remained a secret for a considerable time longer, A surgeon has been called in, and now attends hen—Sherboene Journal.

St:GAIL—The West India raw Sugar Market has been in a very languid state all last week, and importers have submit ted to a decline on previous rates of Is. a Is. Gd. for the brown, and 6d. a Is. for the yellow descriptions, even at which reduc tion the buyers purchased with great reluctance, the refiners in particular, and the 1,500 hhds, and•trs. disposed of were chiefly taken for the scale ; the continued dullness which prevails in this Market is to be attributed to the small quantity of capital afloat; the decline in the prices since the Market was at its highest point, is 10s. a I Is. on the brown, and Bs. on the yel low qualities. ; so that the prices now rate Is. a 2s. under those of this time last year, and the stock is nearly 6,000 hhds. and trs. more than in 1835, which is owing to the great and con tinued falling off in the deliveries this year, which may in a a great measure be accounted for, the refiners having for a long time been only partially at work ; the lowest price for brown Sugar is now 563., and the highest for fine yellow 665. per cwt. At public sale 52 hhds. Jamaica was taken in at 575. for grey quality suitable for the scale. The stock of West India Sugars is now 36,792 hhds. and trs., being 5,344 more than last year. The stock of Mau ritius is now 30,437 bags, which is 17,166 less than last year, (including the East India Dock.) The delivery of \Vest India last week was 2,124 hhds. and trs., which is 945 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 1,189 bags, being 1,757 less than the corresponding week of last year (including the East India Dock.) This afternoon in the prices no further alteration has taken place ; the Market continues in a languid state, the demand both for the scale and pan being very mo derate, more particularly for the . latter purpose ; the pur chases, including the Barbadoes sale, have been confined to 300 blids. and trs. The public sale of 113 hhds. Barbadoes went off at a reduction on the prices of the last sale of Gd., good and fin() selling at 645. a 68s. For Refined goods a reduction on previous rates of Is. a 2s. has been accepted, the greater reduction has been on the grocery descriptions under the standard; the home trade have purchased sparingly, and the transactions in the export de scriptions have been to a very moderate extent ; sales of Lumps entitled to the bounty made at 80s., and those rather under the standard at 785., and double Crushed at 395. ; Bastards are rather cheaper, and difficult of sale ; the prices of Treacle re main steady, and there has existed a fair demand. In Dutch Crushed Sugars further small sales have been made as 373., being last week's prices. This afternoon the Market for all descriptions of Refined goods was in a very inactive state, both shippers and grocers purchasing with the greatest reluctance ; Lumps to pass the standard are not to be purchased under 80s., and 395. for dou ble Crushed ; Bastards arc still extremely dull of sale, and for Treacle there is little request. MAURITICS.-This article, like the British Plantation Mar ket and most others, is in a heavy state, and of the 3,000 bags offered at auction, only a small portion were disposed of at and after the sale, at the reduced rates of-yellow mid. and find at 60s. a 665. 6d., brown low to good 48s. a 565. 6d., very inferior 365. 6d. a 445., being a reduction, since the prices were at their highest, of I is. a 12s. on brown, and Bs. a 9s. on yellow descriptions. No other public sales are declared, and we are still without arrivals. The weekly deliveries are still under those of last year. EAST INDIA.-In Siam and Manilla, with the exception of a cargo of the latter having been disposed of at 215., nothing has been done ; the importers are still firm in their demands, and will not press sales at any decline in prices. In Bengal for shipping there has been nothing done, and the request from the grocers has been trifling at unvaried prices ; at public sale 1,175 bags were all taken in at easy prices, Bengal good and fine white at 335. a 335. 6d., damps and damaged 325. a 355. ; Bombay soft brown at 245. FOREIGN.-The importers require fully former rates for all descriptions, but there continues to be little business doing, and the limited request which has existed has been confined to yellow Havannah ; 100 chests have been taken at 295. for good mid. This afternoon several small parcels of yellow Havannah have been disposed of at 30s. for fine quality. MOLASSES,-West India are extremely dull of sale, and 240 puns. new Barbadoes at auction were all taken in at 30s. for fine quality. The total deliveries of West India Mo lasses from the warehouses for home use for the week ending November 26th, amount to 1,070 cwt. RUM, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS. -There has 'been a very brisk demand for English, Scotch and Irish Raw Spirits, at fully last week's rates. Brandy for home consumption has been in good request. In the Rum Market the business done has been confined to Leewards and Demerara at fully the late high prices. In Jamaica nothing has been done, the quantity remaining in the hands of the importers being extremely trifling, and for which the holders require prices fully equal to those which have been obtained of late. The sales have been 200 puns. Leewards, proof to 7 over 2s. 7d. a 2s. 9d., Deme rara good brown, 2a 3 over, at 2s. 9d. The government contract for 75,000 gallons has been taken by one party, 55,000 gallons at 2s. 71d., and 20,000 gallons at 2s. 7d 5-10. This afternoon there was a steady demand for Leeward Island Rum at former rates ; of Jamaica the market is still without a supply. TALLow.-The Tallow market is quiet, and prices are not so good as they were towards the close of the week: the de mand for parcels on the spot, for consumption_ has bee n ver y moderate at 455. 6d. t o 45 5. 9 d. f or P. Y. Candle ; the trans actions for forward delivery have been extremely trifling at 445. 6d. to 455. PROVISIONS. —An advance of Is. to 2s. has taken place in the value of Irish Butter, and there has been a good demand for consumption, sales of Corks, landed at 102 s. to 104 s. ; Carlow 104 s. to 106 s. Owing to the immense supply of Dutch, the price has deelined to 1003. to 102 s. for the best Friezland, and 945. to 102 s. for Kiel and Holstien. The Bacon market has been in a very languid state, and prices are on the decline. Lard has been in steady request at 765. to 78s. for Waterford bladdered. Hams are extremely dull of sale. For India Mess Beef and Pork the request is very mo derate, and prices are on the decline. The prices of English and Foreign Cheese remain steady, but the business done has been to a trifling extent. LAC DYE.—This afternoon 71 chests at public sale sold at Is. Id. for ordinary. SPlCES.—Pimento is held for late rates. Pepper in request at late prices. Cassia Lignea at 575. Vutmegs at last weeks prices. Ginger, 1,100 bags, taken in at 265. 6d. for middling quality. Nutmegs, good fair at 6s. 9d. a 6s. 10d., fair shri velled 6s. 3d. ; 5 casks Mace was partly sold at 6s. 11d. for good fair Amboyna; 20 bags 4 chests Cloves were bought in Is. 2d. at for good fair dark Amboyna; 100 bags Black Pep per taken in at 44d. for good heavy Malabar.

Barque Malcolm, St. Katherine Docks, Nov. 27. Sir—The enclosed is an extract from my journals ; nIY officers and crew will hear their testimony to the fact. I feel it my duty to make it public, as the supposed danger is not laid down on any charts that I have seen. I remain, Sir, &c. (Signed) JOHN SIMS. To W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. " The barque Malcolm, from Singapore, towards London, on the 28th of October, 1836, about nine A. m., the mate re ported some wreck upon the lee bow. Kept the ship away to near it, when about two cables length from it felt convinced it was a rock, hauled the ship up immediately for fear of getting upon it. It was spherical, the top small, and when the wave receded showed a base of four or six feet ; on the rise of the wave it disappeared. Took two sets of lights for the chrono meter, which placed it in lat. 33 deg. 6 min. N., and long. 31 deg. 49 mm. 15 sec. W. Our meridian altitude for lati tude was good at noon. Spoke to the barque Mary, White, of Sunderland, from Bombay, for Liverpool, who gave his long. 32. 10. W. The appearance of the clouds threatened squalls, which prevented us putting our boats out to ascertain facts. On the Ist. of November made the Island of Flores, and found the chronometer, thirty-six miles too far to the eastward, which makes the supposed danger lat. 83 deg. 6 min. N., long. 32 d eg . 25 W ., and 89 deg. W. from thels land of Flores, 380 miles distant. c , JOHN SIMS." - - MR. BURKE'S HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY.—The Thirteenth Part of Mr. Burke's important and national work, which has just appeared, is now before us, and contains most interesting accounts of nearly one hundred of the leading families in the empire, including copious details of the houses of Kemeys, Tynto of liaise well, Barnaley of Brockhampton, Fulford of Fulford, He neage of Hainton, Ashby of Quenby, Heber of Hodnet, Forde of Scaforde, Long of Rowde Ashton and Preslraw, Peploe of Garnstone, Hulton of Hulton, Leslie of Glass lough, Taylor of Clifton, Phillipps of Garendon Park, Wil lyams of Carnanton, Pownal of Pownal, St. Albyn of Al foxton, Carlyon of Tregrehan, Fitzgerald of Glyn Castle, Gordon of Pitburg, Drake of Roristown, Bodenham of Ro therwas, Creyke of Marton, Notthey of Oving House, Fane of Warmsley, Hopton of Canon Frome, Lloyd of polo bran, Greaves of Irlam Hall, Phillipps of Eaton Bishop, Calley of Burderop, &c., &c. We will only add that the high character the work has acquired is fully sustained by the present Number. It is proposed by M. Molineau, the original projec tor of the Canal between the Rhine and the Danube, to open two communications between the Rhine, the Danube, and the Lake of Constance ; the one beginning at Heilbron, and proceeding along the valley of the Neckar to the Lake of Constance—the other proceeding from Basle, through the valleys of the Rhine and Wutach to the Danube. Many of the chief merchants of Amsterdam are said to favour this scheme. TIIE LATE GEORGE COLMAN'S PROPERTY.--' George Colman, who for the last half century occupied a prominent place in the metropolitan circles of fashion, wit, and literature, and who, during that long period, and even before it, evinced the taste and judgment of one well ac quainted with the arts, whether they related to those of good living, or the more elevated which mark the ma n of sentiment, is dead, and this day his goods and chattels, or at least what were once his, from the choice contents of the wine-cellar to the well-stored library, were destined to fall (most likely to rise) by the hammer of George Robins. The furniture comprised all that a man, who, like our quondam friend Colman the younger, was well to do in the world, required ; we shall, therefore, not say a word about beds, bedding, wardrobes, drawers, dressing-glasses, sofas, chairs, tables, carpets, &c. Amongst the paintings, how ever, and in the library, there were many things worth,' of a brief notice. Of the former we especially point attention to an exquisite and highly finished miniature painting of Shakspeare, painted by the celebrated Osias Humphry, in 1784, in a most delightful style ; it is well authenticated, and generally allowed to be the best likeness of the bard of Avon. This choice miniature wag the last executed by Osias Humphrey previous t o his blindness, which almost immediately after took place ; it was afterwards copied for the late Duchess of Chandos , at whose sale the copy produced 401. There were manY fine paintings of Garrick and other eminent actors, in fa vourite characters, also a beautiful portrait of George' Colm an by Sir Joshua ; another exceedingly fine one by Gainsborough, acknowledged by the cognoscenti to be a most valuable and interesting work of art. In the library there is a curious miscellany of manuscript plays, includ ing those of the elder Colman, viz. ;—Thc Clandestine Marriage, The Fire Side, Separate Maintenance, and The Spanish Barber, the last-named never printed. Then fol lowed a list of twenty manuscript plays and farces by the younger. The books might be said to comprise every w ork of note that has issued from the press for many year s past, to the extent of ten thousand volumes. ----- SETS OF PLATED DISH COVERS:WIIAI STRONG SILVER EDGES, may be selected from various Patterns, price 201. the Set, at T.
